Kia Motors unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show three new hybrids, including a stylish Niro hybrid subcompact SUV and two “green” versions of its Optima midsize sedan—the next-generation 2017 Optima Hybrid and the company’s first Optima plug-in Hybrid (PHEV).

With the introduction of the new 2017 Kia Niro at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show, it is clear that the automaker understands that hybrid vehicles too often sacrifice appealing design and engaging dynamics in order to deliver maximum gas mileage.

For 2016, some Kia models have received new value-conscious trim levels in addition to packages that include more connectivity, higher-end audio, advanced safety systems, sporty and luxury attributes, and new wheel designs.

For the most part, 2015 is a year of moderate change for the Kia brand, with a few key exceptions. These include the new fully electric Soul EV, completely redesigned Sedona minivan, and the addition of the K900 luxury sedan. Find out what's new for all 2015 Kia models...
